Surely the fifteenth pro will be female, as there will be 8 male celebs this year sticking with the pattern?

Emma Slater has been mentioned, and in previous years too. But as she's newly engaged, she might not want to leave LA for that length of time.
tbh I cant see Emma leaving DWTS - she seems to have made a great impression on the producers of the show, I think she started out in their dance troupe and is now a pro on the show and has been for a few seasons

Following her Twitter, it looks like Emma and her boyfriend Sasha just bought a house in LA.

Would be a backward step for Emma to return to the UK, she is obviously settled in USA. There are many, many professional dancers in the UK, could be anyone.

One of my pupils who is with BTF and used to partner Emma is meeting up with her in LA in November according to his FB - so presume she is not coming here for show or he would know - Emma too settled in USA now to return imo

Just had a jot up at the calendar
We have Sept 3rd confirmed for the launch
Assuming they have 3 weeks training before the first show, as normal, this means the first live show with be Fri23rd/Sat24th Sept
A finish date of 17th Dec=15 celebs
A finish date of 24th Dec=16 celebs

There's no way on earth they air the live final on Christmas Eve. It'd be a logistical nightmare.

Or they could have a double elimination in the semi-final and still finish on 17th (if they really want 16 celebs)

Well yes, but there is double elimination options, or returning an eliminated contestant(I know how much you love that one)
Looking at dates the most likely scenario is 15 couples finishing on Dec 17th
My guess is they have a few Olympic names floating around. No one will commit before the games, so at this stage we might have a place for 1 contestant of unknown gender hence the lack of pro names
Does not really stack up as they could name 2 pro's and put the spare as a floater

To reiterate: there is no way they will not have a complete lineup by the time the Olympics have ended, and they almost certainly have the complete lineup now.

I realised I had shot myself in the foot before I ended there
Still curious why it would seem we need 15 pro's and only 14 announced. It is only a few weeks until they start pro rehearsal

or the 3rd sept could be wrong, move it a week so that the launce is 26th August then 3 weeks training with the start of the series being the 16/17 September for the final on December 17 meaning there are 16 couples. this is most likley

That did come from CRH so probable, but maybe a mistake
I have made a mistake in the calculations
If we stick with 23/24 Sept for start and end on 17th Dec with 15 couples that leaves 3 in the final, I forgot it is normally 4 so it is 16 couples finishing on 17th
I think the explanation that it is starting a week later makes sense
It still seems odd to have an undeclared pro dancers line up this close to the pro rehearsals beginning. Last year they began August 3rd so in 3 weeks.
Getting it down to 14 pairs is tricky, it's a week later than CRH announced on Radio AND a double elimination AND 3 finalists

Are you forgetting that the first week is non-elimination there? 15 couples starting on the weekend of 23/24 September leaves 4 for the final by December 17th. I'm not saying how that it's definitely going to work but the pattern does fit.

That sounds right. So we are 1 pro short. OK maybe I was right in my first cogitation, the gender of one contender is not known.

I'm hoping Natalie and Oti get ringers and Kevin gets the dufferest of all duffers.
Dufferest of all duffers, aka the Queen of the Duffers is usually reserved for Anton

I'm just glad Natalie Lowe is back. Please God can she get a someone that has a natural talent to dance and can hear the beat!

Not bothered that Gleb has gone, though my mum's cleaner is awfully sad. If it was his choice to leave, at least we can be happy for him that he wasn't let go if had wanted to return. The new names seem interesting, just watch this space I suppose.
